    Mailbag: Have the Champions League knockout play-offs been a success?
    Feb 22 2025

    The Champions League knockout play-offs (is that really what we're calling them?) served up plenty of drama as part of the new format, but are they really worth keeping given the ever-increasing demands of the football calendar?


    Marcus, Jim & Andy give their thoughts on that, plus they answer who they think is the most underrated manager of all time. Fizzer's surely up there, right?

  • The Preview Show: What’s with the chef’s hat?

    The Preview Show: What’s with the chef’s hat?
    Feb 21 2025

    An Austrian manager’s team talk has made headlines this week and somehow the fact that he waving a dildo around in front of his players isn’t the most confusing detail about it…


    Marcus, Jim, Andy and Vish log into UEFA.com (and quickly log back out again) before checking in with the best of the Prem action this weekend. Vish realises that the best manager for Cole Palmer is Neil Warnock, while Andy makes his defence of Pep Guardiola and Man City after further talk of their demise in midweek.


    Plus, Mark Lawrenson is fuming and Phil Neville’s Portland Timbers have an unusual start to their season…

  • Ramble Reacts: A new low for Manchester City

    Ramble Reacts: A new low for Manchester City
    Feb 20 2025

    Man City were so bad that it has forced Marcus to do his best Graeme Souness impression… oh dear. Jim joins him to contemplate the last time a British club gave such a poor performance in Europe.


    Elsewhere, Liverpool and Aston Villa offered up the perfect tonic at Villa Park. But is it too early for Jim to sound the “title race is back on” alarm?

Best football podcast around

I've been listening to the Ramble since 2010 and they continue to provide an entertaining but also well informed view of the world football. The jokes, coupled with different lineups each episode mean while there is familiarity each pod isn't the same.

My only negative is that despite listening (and emailing in) for almost 15 years, seeing 3 live shows and meeting the lads, I've still yet to get official friend of the ramble status. Howay lads!

Top Rambling

Arguably the best football podcast put there, forget all the glitz and glimmer of the sky sports podcasts and listen to these guys! No nonsense opinions and top banter.

Good Podcast

Funny and informative football podcast. Good length as well at 45 mins , some football podcasts are too long at well over an hour. Has a variety of speakers which rotate so is always different.

Forza Ramble

I've been listening since 2010 and the team provide a very enjoyable football podcast at no cost to me. Lots of laughs, with occasional football content.

If Luke could stop interrupting people, it would be even better.

P.S. Southampton are a bigger club than Portsmouth.

Some great content but...

Some of the content is great and some of the presenters are great but the show is spoiled by a couple of awful ones. Pete Donaldson is the most annoying self righteous prick and an immediate turn off. Dotun Adebayo is a terrible presenter.
Kudos to Jim, Marcus and Luke.
Too much virtue signalling though
